About The Front Dining Room @ Chez Bagou
Chez Bagou is a French bistro at 132 Bridport Street, Albert Park, where Aurelien Bagou runs the floor and Guillaume Sauvetre leads the kitchen. The kitchen sticks to French classics built on seasonal produce, from Burgundy snails and onion soup to duck breast, seafood pie and steak frites. For celebrations, the bistro sets aside two adjoining dining rooms. The Front Dining Room is the larger of the pair – a semi-private space where up to 26 guests sit together along a single long table. A fireplace sits at one end of the room, which takes in natural light at lunchtime and turns to candlelight in the evening. Smaller parties of up to 14 can book the Cellar Dining Room instead, set among oak barrels and French wine. Private dining runs on set menus, with three options priced at $95, $120 and $145 per person. The team asks to be told about allergies and dietary needs before the day. Wines come from France and Australia, alongside cocktails, apéritifs and digestifs. The bistro opens for dinner from Tuesday and adds lunch from Thursday to Saturday. Send an enquiry with your date, guest numbers and the occasion, and the team will follow up to talk through the menu and confirm the booking.
